A Lebanese security source confirmed to Al Jazeera that three Israeli strikes targeted the Wadi Faara area, one of which hit a well-drilling rig. The total death toll from those strikes alone reached 12, the source said.
The Israeli military stated that it had conducted strikes on several Hezbollah military compounds in eastern Lebanon, including training sites linked to the group's elite Radwan Force.
These latest attacks represent the deadliest since a ceasefire ended a prolonged year of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, including a two-month war that significantly weakened the armed group's capabilities.

Hezbollah disarmament dominates Lebanese Parliament amidst 'Israeli' strikes
The Lebanese Parliament convened a general session today, Tuesday, July 15, to discuss the government's policies, with the contentious issue of Hezbollah's weaponry dominating proceedings. The session saw renewed and sharp calls for the state to exclusively control all arms in Lebanon. This parliamentary debate, the first of its kind in a long time, according to Deputy Speaker Elias Bou Saab, occurred against a backdrop of heightened tensions. During the session, 'Israeli' aircraft conducted low-altitude overflights, including over Beirut, later on, intense 'Israeli' airstrikes targeted the eastern and western Lebanese mountain ranges. These strikes reportedly resulted in at least 12 fatalities, including Syrian and Lebanese nationals, and 7 injuries. Calls for state monopoly on arms During the morning session, the Lebanese Forces party prominently called on the government to establish a clear timetable for Hezbollah's disarmament. MP Georges Adwan stated, "This is the government's last chance and there's a need to move quickly. The government must hold the decisions on war and peace." This position was supported by MP Pierre Bou Assi, who added, "Everything must begin with strengthening sovereignty. 'Israel' will not withdraw from southern Lebanon before Hezbollah's weapons are withdrawn." Other lawmakers, including independent MP Michel Moawad, also pressed the government on its plan and timetable for resolving the arms issue. MP Yassine Yassine emphasized that the "arms monopoly is not a slogan but a constitutional and political rule without which the state and the presidency will not be able to recover." Despite the Lebanese constitution stipulating the exclusivity of weapons in the hands of the state, implementing this principle remains a major point of political division. Deputy Speaker Elias Bou Saab acknowledged the session would likely feature "contradictory statements from all sides, as well as calls for a monopoly on arms and for reconstruction." He also questioned the government's commitment to the Taif Agreement's national accord document, which calls for liberating Lebanese territories from Israeli Occupation. US roadmap, e scalating tensions The parliamentary discussions coincided with Lebanon's review of Washington's response to proposals from US envoy Thomas Barrack. Barrack's "roadmap" for peace in the region includes a demand for a timeline for Hezbollah's disarmament and other armed factions, with a clear implementation mechanism to be set by the Lebanese government. Sources indicate that the US has given Lebanon until the end of the current year to resolve the Hezbollah weapons issue. Hezbollah's stance remains firm, with its chief Naim Qassem stating that the group would not disarm until 'Israel' ends its aggression and withdraws from southern Lebanon. He previously asserted that Hezbollah's weapons would not be on the negotiating table unless 'Israel' "withdraws from the occupied territories, stops its aggression, releases the prisoners, and reconstruction begins." MPs in the session also urged the government to take a firm stance against the ongoing Israeli violations of the ceasefire. 'Israeli' Defence Minister Israel Katz, on Tuesday, stated that 'Israeli' military strikes underway in Lebanon send a "clear message" to Hezbollah, accusing the group of plotting to rebuild its forces. Crossroads for Lebanon The parliamentary session underscores the sensitive political crossroads facing Lebanon. The domestic push for disarming militias, particularly Hezbollah, intertwines with ongoing calls for a complete 'Israeli' withdrawal from occupied Lebanese territories.

Syria condemns 'Israeli' strikes on Suwayda, vows to defend its sovereignty
Syria's Foreign Ministry on Tuesday strongly condemned what it called a 'treacherous Israeli aggression' following a series of coordinated airstrikes and attacks on southern Syrian territory, accusing 'Israel' of deliberately escalating tensions in the region and pledging to defend the country through all legal means. In an official statement, the ministry said the strikes had resulted in the deaths of both military personnel and civilians. 'This aggression represents a new escalation, carried out through deliberate air raids and coordinated attacks on Syrian land,' the ministry said, calling it part of a continued pattern of 'Israeli' violations of Syrian sovereignty. 'The attacks occurred at a calculated time and within a suspicious context aimed at undermining Syria's national stability and increasing tensions in the region,' the statement added. The Foreign Ministry stressed that Syria reserves its full right to defend its land and people, affirming that it will use all tools guaranteed by international law to confront aggression and protect national security. It also reaffirmed the government's commitment to safeguarding all Syrians, including members of the Druze community, who it said are now facing direct threats as a result of 'Israeli' attacks. The strikes come amid ongoing violence in the southern governorate of Suwayda, home to Syria's Druze minority, where deadly clashes between Druze fighters and Bedouin tribes erupted over the weekend. On Tuesday, Syrian Defense Minister Murhaf Abu Qasra announced a complete ceasefire in the city following talks with local leaders. Government forces had entered Suwayda earlier in the day and raised the Syrian flag at key checkpoints. Shortly afterward, 'Israel' announced that its military had begun striking Syrian regime positions in the Suwayda region, citing the need to protect the Druze minority and ensure the demilitarization of the border zone. In a joint statement, 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said the strikes targeted forces and weapons 'brought into Suwayda to carry out operations against the Druze.' 'We are acting to prevent the Syrian regime from harming them,' the statement read. The 'Israeli' military claimed it struck several vehicles in the area, and Syrian state media confirmed the attacks. The Syrian government, however, rejected 'Israel's' stated justification. The Foreign Ministry's statement denounced the attempt to use the Druze as a pretext for foreign interference and stressed Damascus' commitment to protecting all of its citizens. The recent clashes in Suwayda have left more than 100 people dead, including Druze fighters, civilians, and members of the Bedouin community, according to war monitors and Syrian officials. Government forces were deployed to restore order but quickly became entangled in the fighting.

Armed Israeli Druze cross into Syria as Israeli forces strike Syrian troops in Sweida
Published July 15th, 2025 - 03:50 GMT Israeli Channel 13 and Israel Hayom reported that the individuals were armed when they entered Syrian territory, raising concerns over cross-border escalation. ALBAWABA- Dozens of armed Israeli Druze citizens crossed the border into Syria through the Majdal Shams area in the occupied Golan Heights, according to Israeli media reports. Also Read Israeli forces strike Syrian tanks amid clashes in Suwayda The Israeli military confirmed it is working to return those who crossed, amid rising tensions in southern Syria. Israeli Channel 13 and Israel Hayom reported that the individuals were armed when they entered Syrian territory, raising concerns over cross-border escalation. Shortly after the incident, Israeli forces launched air strikes targeting Syrian government troops and military vehicles in the Sweida region. قال الجيش الإسرائيلي إن عشرات الإسرائيليين عبروا إلى سوريا من قرية مجدل شمس الدرزية في مرتفعات الجولان. وأضاف أنه يعمل حاليا على ضمان عودة الإسرائيليين الذين عبروا الحدود بسلام. ولم يتضح حتى الآن كيف عبر الإسرائيليون الحدود، لكن إسرائيل شنت لليوم الثاني على التوالي هجمات على… — قناة الحرة (@alhurranews) July 15, 2025 The strikes came in the wake of a ceasefire announcement by Syria's defense minister, following the deployment of government forces in Sweida city earlier that day. Syrian state news agency SANA confirmed continued deployment of internal security units to the town to enforce the truce and protect civilians. While many Druze religious leaders in Syria supported the government's intervention, at least one senior cleric called for armed resistance and demanded international protection. Notably, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said the military strikes were intended to 'prevent the Syrian regime from harming the Druze' and to ensure the demilitarization of the border region. Also Read 12 Lebanese killed, 8 wounded, in Israeli strikes on Beqaa valley The Israeli military said it began targeting regime vehicles and positions near Sweida immediately after the ceasefire was announced. A day earlier, Israel had struck several tanks in southern Syria, warning that it would not allow threats against the Druze community. Analysts and critics argue, however, that Israel may be using its stated concern for the Druze as a pretext to advance broader military objectives and territorial control, particularly during Syria's ongoing political transition. They warn that such actions, bolstered by U.S. support and Western silence, risk further destabilizing the region, as seen in Israel's repeated strikes across Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, Iraq, and the Palestinian territories. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (
